Three JFK ASSASSINATION RECORDS

THREE JFK ASSASSINATION RECORDS, KNOWN TO EXIST, THAT ARE
NOT AMONG THE RECORDS TURNED OVER TO THE JFK ASSASSINATION RECORDS COLLECTION
AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES.

The three records JFK Assassination Records that should have
been turned over to the NARA under
the JFK Act but were not include the complete radio communications from Air
Force One and the records related to two articles published in newsapapers and
in news reports that mention the assassination.

RECORD #1 – The complete transcript and complete, unedited
tapes of the radio communications of Air Force One from Love Field, Dallas,
Texas to Andrews AFB, WashingtonD.C.

While JFK ordered all such radio communications recorded,
and the White House Communications Agency was responsible for those recordings,
and the edited tapes and edited transcripts exist, a number of reporters – T.
White, W. Manchester included, were permitted to read the unedited transcript
in the LBJ White House, and there are references in their reporting and on the
existing tapes to excerpts that are not available today. Besides the WHCA and
the Department of Defense and NSA, the Collins Radio defense contractor was
responsible for the radio relays from their Cedar Rapids,
Iowa HQ and should have recorded the transmissions and maintained the tapes.

Since these tapes and transcripts once existed, the NARA
should at least make the attempt to determine what became of them, and since
the transmissions were on an open frequency, it is possible that some amateur
radio club or buff or a foreign intelligence service (Canada, Cuba, Israel,
USSR) may have recorded them and could provide a copy of the unedited tapes to
us, since it appears we’ve lost ours.

RECORD #2 – NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA)

On March 22, 1996,
The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper reported on the arrest of a Soviet spy,
former NSA clerk Robert Stephen Lipka, who was identified by the FBI
counter-intelligence and British MI5 from information supplied by a former KGB
archivist (Mitrokin) and defector. While the Millersville, Pennsylvania
man was being arranged in court, Lipka claimed that while at NSA he saw
documents that identified the real assassin of President Kennedy.

When a reporter asked Lipka, as he was being led away, what was the assassin’s
name, Lipka responded, "Luis Angel Castillo."

Washington –
The National Security Agency has alerted the CIA, the White House and State
Department to a Latin American newspaper report saying Cuban President Fidel
Castro is plotting the assassination of President Reagan, Scripps-Howard News
Service has learned.

The NSA, which monitors published and broadcast information
around the globe, does not makes such “alert” messages available to the press.
But SHNS obtained a copy, which was marked “for official use only.”

It included
the text of the newspaper report as well as a garbled message about the news
story directed to the head of Castro’s controlled news agency, Presna Latina.
Without revealing its sources, the news report, published yesterday in the Caracas,
Venezuela,
newspaper El Mundo, asserted the assassination plot called for the slaying to
be carried out by Illich Ramirez Sancho, an international terrorists known as
Carlos the Jackal. Carlos is said to have organized the massacre of Israeli
athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, West
Germany, and has been involved in dozens of
terrorists acts.

U.S.
officials said the NSA’s action in alerting the U.S.
intelligence community “suggests that while they are not necessarily ready to
believe the report of an assassination plot, nevertheless they (NSA) find it at
least worthy of looking into.”

The Caracas
newspaper story said the assassination plan, “was discussed in a meeting of the
International Trust of Crime in Cojimar, an exclusive beach club east of Havana,
with the participants of Montonero and Tupamaro thugs, Illich Ramirez, Ramiro
Valdez, Cuban Police Minister Carlos Rafael Rodriguez and Fidel Castro.” No
identification was found of Ramiro Valdez. Montonero “thugs” are terrorists
operating primarily in Argentina
while Tupumaros thugs operate in Uruguay.
The article said Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasir Arafat also
participated in the plan.

Presna
Latina (Latin Press) often has been used by Castro for political ends. The
Pressa Latina correspondent in Caracas,
at 9:47 a.m. EST yesterday, began
transmitting the El Mundo article by cable to Prensa Latina headquarters in Havana.
NSA monitored it. At the close of the text, Prensa Latina Caracas began adding
what appears to be commentary on the El Mundo report. It reads:

“Everything
seems to indicate that Fidel Castro is planning the assassination of U.S.
President Ronald Reagan in the same way that he previously ordered the
assassination of John F. Kennedy and whose participation the high-ranking U.S.
government circles hid…”

There the
Prensa Latina cable transmission stopped. Had it been ordered broken off by the
Venezuela
government, say U.S.
officials, NSA would have added the words: “transmission interrupted,” to show Venezuela’s
action. There was no such NSA notation. Officials provided no explanation of
why the transmission ended in mid-sentence.
